Parametric Modeling and Optimization of Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Behaviors of Microwave Components

Abstract

Parametric modeling and optimization of electromagnetic (EM) and multiphysics behaviors are very essential parts of the design process of microwave components.For EM/multiphysics design, the computational cost of directly using EM/multiphysics simulator is very expensive because the simulation-driven design requires repetitive EM/multiphysics evaluations due to the adjustments of the values of design parameters. This thesis proposes new techniques to speed up the parametric modeling I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my supervisor, Prof. Qi-Jun Zhang for his professional guidance, constant support, invaluable inspiration, and suggestions throughout the research work and preparation of this thesis. His encouragement, motivation and thoughtful insights during my research made my journey in realizing my goal a memorable one. It was my honor to work under his supervision and guidance. I would also like to express my appreciation to my co-supervisor, Prof. Jianguo Ma for the encouragement and knowledgeable instruction. His professional suggestions provided a great help for me on my way pursuing my Ph.D degree. I would like to thank Tianjin University, where I have stayed for six years accomplishing my Ph.D studies. I would also like to thank Carleton University for the Cotutelle program for my Ph.D study.
